policy. what we are left with is a situation which suggests to you what option available to the obama administration to pursue the u.s. national interest and security of the peninsula. >> in the short term i put north korea back on the list to stay sponsors of terrorism, cut him out of international financial transactions, certainly would not supply any humanitarian assistance which they used to prop up the regime. honestly, you have to look at the longer term solution, and that means you need to find a way to get this regime eliminated. hopefully peacefully by reunifying the peninsula. otherwise, there is every reason to think they're working with ron cilium ballistic missiles and perhaps on the weapon side as well. that means that these problems are closely related. >> always good to have you with us. much more on the north korean nuclear explosion analysis of the president's upcoming state of the union address tonight. the latest on the california cop killer manhunt throughout this broadca
